3. Who would be the buyers of the final product? Which industries have a market demand for your reusable materials? Consider how much your buyers will pay for recyclables in bale form.

4. How will you finance your business? Consider grants or special loans that may be available from the government or other environmental programs. Costs would include your facility, equipment, staff, and electricity, in addition to the transportation, storage, and handling of the waste and recycling materials.

5. How will you make your operation efficient and profitable? Identify what equipment will be needed to efficiently process the recyclables. Processes such as sorting, baling, storage, and delivering the recyclables for easier transport and reuse should be evaluated. Baling equipment will help automate the processes and are designed for various facility needs.

Finally suggest the best recycling and waste management equipment for the business or facility, the ideal equipment must suit the type of materials, volume, and facility.
